There is power in numbers. Starting in 2006, a consortium of 39 universities came together to create the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, the first truly large-scale academic survey project aimed at studying the midterm Congressional elections. The study has continued every year since. Our joint efforts have produced national sample surveys in excess of 50,000 respondents in every federal election since. Professors Stephen Ansolabehere of Harvard University and Brian Schaffner of the University of Massachusetts coordinate the CCES and YouGov in Palo Alto, CA, conducts and distributes the surveys.

We are excited to announce that the 2015 CCES Conference will be held from June 11-13, 2015, at Sundance Resort in Provo, Utah. We are preparing for the conference and are excited for the collaboration that we hope will occur. For most details, please check the conference website at ccesconference.byu.edu.
